    FMS Zero main gear wheel size?

    Does anyone know, or have, the FMS A6M3 Zero? Watching the demo video Pilot Ryan mentions they have swapped out the original main gear wheels with Dave Browns to cut down on the noise on the ground and help with smoother landings on asphalt. What size wheels does the FMS Zero have so I can get the Dave Browns when I order my ZERO. I want to have everything I need when the plane gets here! I'm guessing 3 inch but I want to make sure....anyone know? Thanks so much.

    Hi Retired:
    So the only thing I can suggest is that you contact MotionRC through the Support section on the top right of this page. Either phone them or e mail them, their support is unmatched as far as I'm concerned.

      Hi Retired:
      Did an inquiry for you.
      Matt from MotionRC says that the tires are 3" round Dave Browns.
      Hope this helps

            I JUST now got my ZERO and have started assembly.  I had to wait until Xmas to get it.....HA HA.  Anyway, just a note, I bought the 3 inch Dave Browns in anticipation of changing out the mains, HOWEVER, they are NOT 3 inches, they are 2.75!  3 inches will not fit in the wheel wells.  I will ordering some 2.75 shortly.  Not a big deal, I will probably use the 3 inchers someplace.  Just wanted you to know.

            :(
